No issue is more pressing than the climate crisis! Digital technologies can either help ameliorate this crisis or they can worsen it. Can co-ops be an alternative to extractive capitalism that refuses to acknowledge the impending catastrophe? How do we democratize the digital economy in the time of the Green New Deal? In this session, you’ll learn about two groups: a platform that supports recyclers in Brazil and an e-car sharing cooperative in Spain.
